His college career may be finished, but for Burnaby’s Tyler Morley it didn’t come without honours.
His Alaska Nanooks were eliminated in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association quarterfinals by Michigan Tech on the weekend in a 2-0 sweep.
Prior to that, Morley was named to the All-WCHA First team, after a standout senior season. He was the lone first-team repeat selection, and only representative for Alaska.
A centre for the Nanooks, Morley set the pace offensively all season long despite missing seven games due to injury. He posted a league-leading 1.03 points-per-game average, with 18 goals and 12 assists over 29 games. He counted a goal in both playoff games against Michigan Tech on the weekend.
It came on the heels of the 24-year-old being chosen the WCHA’s Offensive Player of the Week to cap the regular season.
Younger brother Brandon Morley, in his junior year with the Nanooks, was a first-time selection to the WCHA All-Academic team.
